I will be in Japan for 1 month most likely.. possibly 2 months. What is the best pre-paid SIM card for me?

I will be landing at KIX airport around 22:00PM. Is it too late to get a SIM card? Which SIM card is affordable for mobile data only for a period of 1 - 2 months?

I need input on this as I'm confused when I Google it. Any specific recommendations? It may be too late to get it when I arrive KIX.. but perhaps I can get a SIM card a day or two later from a store?

I don't want to carry around a mobile "hotspot".. I'd prefer to just have a SIM card I can swap into my unlocked GSM Android phone.

and ideally looking for physical SIM 1-3GB of data valid for 30 days for $20 USD (or less) from KIX airport. I saw esims with 3GB data are going for about $8 USD for 30 days.. what is the best deal for a physical SIM card with 1-3GB on it from KIX?
